As the lockdown continues, we’re all looking for new ways to stay busy and productive around the house. Because let’s face it, Netflix and video games are bound to get old at some point.

With summer upon us, it’s time to break out the swimwear, crack open some tanning lotion and get to poolside lounging!

Follow these four tips to make poolside lounging extra fun this year!

Get Competitive

Let your competitive streak shine with some pool volleyball. This sport works for anywhere between two and twelve players and is a great way to get your energy levels up.

Make a splash as you take your skills up a notch. Remember, the water will affect your balance, so coordination and teamwork are the keys to victory.

Retreat and Read

With all this time on your hands, why not catch up on some reading you’ve been putting off? Better yet, do it while getting some much-needed Vitamin D. Pull out a comfortable poolside chair and boost your immunity levels as you read.

If you like the feeling of cool water splashing against your feet, fill up an inflatable donut and float around as you read and relax.

Water Fights

Nothing reduces the life of a water fight quicker than a shortage of ammo. With a pool, you enjoy the benefit of unlimited ammo—and endless fun. It’s perfect for keeping the kids busy and letting them burn some energy. And adults can join in on the entertainment too!

You can even incorporate games such as Capture the Flag and Red Light, Green Light, while you play.

Dive-in movies

Dive-in movies are becoming increasingly popular in America for several reasons. Just set up a projector next to the pool and watch movies as you relax and unwind in the water. It also makes for a romantic outdoor date night with your significant other—pop in a cheesy number and take your typical dinner-and-movie date to the next level.
